The Psychology of Beating MS – TedX (RRMS)

After a shocking diagnosis that would begin stripping Bob Cafaro of his ability to perform, sheer willpower and changes to his daily life allow him to beat all odds.

In 1999, Bob was stricken with a virulent case of Multiple Sclerosis, which left him nearly blind and without the use of his hands. Defying what doctors had told him, he made a complete and remarkable recovery.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

MS Big Emma

In MS, the immune system attacks and damages or destroys the myelin, a substance that surrounds and insulates the nerves. The myelin destruction causes a distortion or interruption in nerve impulses traveling to and from the brain. This results in a wide variety of symptoms.

Most people with MS have attacks, also called relapses, when the condition gets noticeably worse. They’re usually followed by times of recovery when symptoms improve. For other people, the disease continues to get worse over time.

According to the vast majority of doctors there is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis, nevertheless several people have been able to cure themselves whether it is from MS, Cancer or other degenerative diseases.
